Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'rather than let your ingenious Nephew come without a Letter, I stole so much Time as to weigh the Greek Coins, which I thought would not have been of Use to you because Staters [sic]; However, here I transmit some of all the Greek Coins, and likewise, as you desire, of all the Brass Consular Monies; and request your learned and curious Computations thereupon; I mean not as to the Inscriptions, but Value and Times of Mintage. .. [a list of weights follows]' (Smith 1729, pp. 41-3)
